3 Year Professional Pictures

We had 3 year pictures done at JCPenny and they turned out great! Callie was acting like a little super model and Anderson turned on the charm!  Liam was thrown in for a shot and it turned out great too!  Scanning them turned them a little blurry but you get the idea of how cute they are!

Callie Wrote Her Name!

Last weekend we went to the little boy next door's 3rd birthday party.  I asked the kids to write the first letter of their name and gave them their name card to use as an example (like I always do) and Callie legibly wrote her whole name!  I debated keeping the card for keepsake but decided a picture will do! So proud of you girl!

D-Rods Visit

The Rodriguez Family is moving to Florida from Missouri and they came to visit us over Labor Day weekend.  It is always awesome to have friends visit, especially when we haven't lived in the same place for over 3 years!

Minot Girls together again!

1st Day of PreK 3

The kids had a great first day back to school!  And I didn't even shed a tear!  This year they are in PreK and will be attending Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30-11:30.  And since they're such big kids, Liam and I don't even have to go in and get them!  Their teacher walks them out to car line!  There are 7 kids in there class, which includes them.  3 of the boys were in their MDO class last year and there is one new boy and one new girl.
